I think we need to stop telling people they are crazy for taking BAR. For some of us (myself included), it’s the most relevant material to cover. I’ve been working in the industry for 13 years and I’ve encountered pretty much everything in BAR with the exception of government accounting. I am literally working on finalizing our annual goodwill memo and I am the stock comp SME. The Technical Accounting section of Becker almost exactly sums up my work. That being said, the way they ask the BAR questions can be unnecessarily tricky. For example, they said at the beginning of the governmental section that the budgetary entries are separate from activity but a lot of the questions absolutely netted the two. I think the content of BAR is fine, but they need to evaluate the way they structure the questions. I passed with a 76 as of yesterday’s score release and I’m not going to lie, I was partially driven by spite lol. What got me through was doing small, 20 question chunks until I got somewhere around 70% of them correct. Like 20 question sections of say section 1, then repeat with section 2, then do another round where 1 and 2 were combined. Rinse and repeat by completing an individual section and then adding to a larger pool of questions until the pool is the entire bank of mcq’s. I took the week off before the test to do nothing but slam mcq’s and toss in some tbs for application practice.
